They create wonderful artisan bread here and done delectable pastries. I love their Bran Muffin. It's moist and tastes great. It's on the small side for $5, though. We also bought a Palmier.

There is a lot of outdoor seating in a yard/garden which is perfect for families and pets in the summer. They bring out your entrees, but everything else is self bussed. You prepay for everything including tip when you order. They only accept cash, check, or Venmo. I came here with a group of 4 and ordered 4 entrees along with some baked foods and coffee. THE WAIT..... It took over 1 hour for us to get our food. I would take off at least part of a point for that. I'm not sure if we were forgotten but didn't hear from the kitchen at all during this time (or after) and I had to ask about our order myself. People behind me in line had gotten their food long before. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry that day but that is a pretty long wait in my opinion for brunch. Be aware that the line to order can be long and the wait to get your food can be long.

Pelican Bay Books & Coffeehouse isn't just a bookstore; it's the heart of Anacortes's literary and…read moresocial life, a true haven where the maritime air meets the comforting scent of old paper and fresh espresso. This isn't a sterile chain shop--it's a warm, sunshiny hub built from beautiful wood tones, welcoming you to slow down and stay awhile. What immediately strikes you is how wonderfully curated the space is. Despite being "jam-packed" with thousands of quality used and collectible books, the store manages to feel open, airy, and inviting. The selection is fantastic, especially their deep cuts in Pacific Northwest History, general fiction, and esoterica. Browsing is a delight thanks to the meticulous organization that makes finding that hidden literary gem feel like a genuine discovery. The "Coffeehouse" part of the name is equally crucial. Serving delicious, locally-sourced coffee (like Olympia Coffee Roasters beans) and boasting a pastry case filled with unique treats--the legendary rosemary sea salt rolls, figgy bars, and baked goods are must-tries--it perfectly complements the reading experience. The friendly, attentive staff, who are clearly passionate about bookselling, are always ready to offer a recommendation or assist, often going above and beyond. Whether you're looking for a quiet, bright nook to get some work done, a comfortable chair to sip a vanilla bean latte, or an engaging evening out for a poetry reading or live piano music, Pelican Bay delivers. It's a bookstore with character, clearly beloved by locals and a mandatory stop for any visitor. It's the kind of place you'll remember long after you've left Anacortes. Highly, highly recommend!

Great place for pictures, affordable great quality second hand books, and oh did I mention it's also a coffee shop. I mean could it get any better? No I don't think it could. I genuinely felt so happy the moment I stepped inside this store. It's just such a beautiful space that feels cozy and inviting. After walking around a bit I went to order a coffee. And I honestly don't think I've ever met nicer baristas in my life! They were all so sweet and kind and helpful! I tried out the fig leaf latte and the autumn tea latte and both were spectacular! Great flavor and smoothness. Overall I love this bookstore and it's well worth the drive! Definitely a hidden gem! I'll be back!!

When we visited, there was actually no menu and the…read morebarista mentions he can make any drink for the most part, so we opted for a hemp milk orange latte which was pretty decent. I don't see hemp milk much in other coffee shops so this stood out. There's zero latte art and it's just a regular white paper cup so I didn't bother taking a picture of the drink itself. The cafe itself is pretty interesting, with a whole variety of license plates, pastry case, and other CBD products, and there are lots of seating. The downside for being "bespoke" is that there is no menu. $7+ for a 16oz latte is a bit steep and we don't know the breakdown of prices, so if anything, even if there's no menu, a general price guideline would be much appreciated.

The seating is outside, right by the water. Cozy atmosphere with a beautiful and peaceful view right on the water. Paella is cooked in a traditional Spanish way. You pay per plate.

Slough food itself is a small store with some deli sold up front and other items like wine and specialty foods and gifts. Lovely people work there. Very welcoming!
